42140 CHAZELLES-SUR-LYON – Exceptional Bourgeois House Valentine Ducreux, INDEPENDENT real estate consultant based in Chazelles-sur-Lyon with the Efficity network, is proud to present this elegant character property of nearly 450 m². I am proud to present this remarkable monument in the heart of our charming town! You may have recognized it—it is undeniably part of Chazelles' heritage as it was once the home of a hatmaker patron, Georges Fléchet, grandson of Gabriel Fléchet. A century later, his name would become the only historic brand of French hatmaking. This characteristic bourgeois residence from 1939, originally called La Talonnière, combines elegance and history, earning its place among the town's notable landmarks. Its garden, also classified as remarkable, spans a 6,950 m² plot, offering a true haven of greenery in the very heart of Chazelles-sur-Lyon. With approximately 450 m² of living space, this home spans three levels and includes a full basement. It offers generous volumes and spaces full of character. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand hall (featuring a stunning ceiling!) that leads to the main living areas: a refined dining room, two bright living rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. On the upper floor, you will find six comfortable bedrooms, perfect for hosting family and friends, along with three bathrooms, several WCs, a study, a laundry room, and a walk-in wardrobe. A top-floor attic, showcasing the striking vaulted concrete roof, can also be transformed to suit your needs. The full basement is a significant asset, featuring a large garage, storage space, a laundry room (complete with a vintage stone sink), a boiler room, a wine cellar, an annex, and even a traditional curing room. The landscaped garden is a true retreat, divided into several delightful areas: a rose garden, a wooded section, colorful flower beds, and a large grassy area where you can let your imagination run wild. The property also features a charming stone well, adding both authenticity and practicality. Built entirely of concrete with high-quality materials, the house has stood the test of time without losing its charm. Its original condition serves as a stunning testament to the 1930s and is perfectly livable today, while leaving room for some updates to improve energy efficiency and refresh certain rooms. Located just a short stroll from the town center, this property offers tranquility along with local amenities. Its location between Lyon and Saint-Étienne is ideal, close to major roadways and perfect for families or those seeking a second home in a region rich in history and dynamism. Being less than an hour from Lyon's international airport also makes it ideal for buyers from abroad. Chazelles-sur-Lyon, once a major hub for hat-making, is a town steeped in heritage. Its Hat Museum stands as a testament to a unique savoir-faire that remains recognized worldwide. Many artists have made this town their home. Residents also benefit from a thriving local economy, which rivals that of other towns of similar size. A weekly market delights visitors with its fresh local produce (meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables…), and food enthusiasts will be pleased with the selection of excellent restaurants nearby. Situated in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, this home offers a gateway to a land of endless opportunities: from Lyon's renowned gastronomy to hiking in the Pilat Regional Natural Park or enjoying winter sports in the nearby Alps. A unique property, rare on the market, perfect for lovers of history, authenticity, and wide-open spaces. This house is commonly referred to as one of Chazelles' ''châteaux,'' even though it is not officially classified as such. You will quickly understand its popularity and its deep roots in the local history.
